seeking futuristic fonts

greetings earthlings. i'm getting started on a large publicity campaign for a science film about atoms and molecules.

i'm seeking recommendations for fonts, font families, or font designers/vendors with a distinctive science/sci-fi/futuristic feeling.
when i use these keywords in myfonts.com i get surprisingly same-old, blocky, 80's looking examples.

any recommendations ? i'll be choosing a few to experiment with.

fully legit protocols will be followed, including obliging the distributor/client to license their own copies (after design approval) for extended packaging use.

It's really hard to recommend futuristic fonts, since there have been so many different perceptions of what type will look like in the future, almost all of which, in a different context, look very retro. My favorite version of the future is a movement back towards Art Deco, so something like Mostra or Anna could be what you're looking for. Anna is pretty prevalently used in Tomorrowland in the Disney parks.

Bank Gothic is pretty popular for conveying a futuristic feeling, but it may be too closely associated with Chipotle and sci-fi movies.

You could go for something like Computer, which has kind of a 1960s perception of the future.

thanks everyone for the suggestions ! these chiseled solids are consistent with what i was thinking... that's encouraging. i'll be experimenting with several of these.

paul: feisar is supercool !

one thing that has become a rather daunting issue (switching over to a license thread) is the standard EULA i'm finding regarding film usage. yes, i read them completely. there's rather unclear clauses in the the font bros, house, and font diner EULA's about annual broadcast schedule and mandatory renewal of the license annually... not sure i understand the clause but i have written to the foundries seeking clarification. i love the house 3009 package but the EULA may be prohibitive. this drives me nuts. i don't want to show a design to the client if it comes attached to a maintenance/renewal issue. i'm not sure there's an entity in place to deal with that once the film is distributed. it's a science film, not a hollywood blockbuster.

i'm also going to take a shot at designing my own title - not a font per se, but a custom type treatment.

Oh, Bank Gothic is wonderful typeface. You just have to use it with a bit of love, and maybe not set it as is, out-of-the-box, so to speak. There are a lot of Bank Gothic alternatives if you still can't get over its boxy-ness or its all-caps-ness.

Hmm… to avoid an "already seen" ar an excessively decorative feeling is not easy…

I would suggest Beta Sans or Beta Semi from Joshua Distler's Shift or Elektron by Rian Hughes for titling. Shift's Beta could be used even for short texts.

Dr Nob by Ian Anderson (presented in FUSE 6) could be a tool to construct "molecular" letetrforms or patterns for your designs, although FUSE packages seem to have become difficult to buy. I have found something here.

And Eidetic Modern from Rodrigo Cavazos' Psy-Ops, could be a good idea for text.
